DRAMA - The 25-year French pilot died after a long battle ...
October 5, 2014 to July 17, 2015, Jules Bianchi fought against fate. Victim of a terrible accident at the Japanese Grand Prix in the fall, the young 25 year old French pilot died nine months later at the University Hospital of Nice. "Jules fought to the end, as it has always done, but yesterday his battle ended."
October 5, 2014: The accident
It is just over 10 in the morning when, on the soggy Suzuka circuit in Japan Grand Prix, Jules Bianchi loses control of his Formula 1. The car then hit a vehicle carrying out the evacuation of another driver, Adrian Sutil. Bianchi, 25, was evacuated unconscious by ambulance to the General Hospital in Mie, a few kilometers from Suzuka, with an oxygen mask on the face, and the race is definitely interrupted. His father Philip Bianchi said on French television channel France 3 that the driver is "in serious condition" and is "being emergency surgery for a hematoma on the head."
Youngest of French drivers in F1, the Frenchman of 25, driving a Marussia since the 2013 season, was almost doomed to automotive career. Present in their own role in an album of comics Michel Vaillant, the grandfather and Jules Bianchi great uncle scoured the paddocks in the 60s mounted for the first time in a kart to three and a half years, Jules quickly revealed as a great talent and goes up the ladder one by one.
Early 2014, after a first initiation season, Jules Bianchi scored his first points in F1 world championship by finishing ninth in the Chinese Grand Prix. A few weeks later, during the Japanese Grand Prix, his car collided violently behind a lifting machine that was evacuating the Sauber of Adrian Sutil. The pilot was taken unconscious to the hospital in Mie Prefecture, fifteen kilometers from the circuit. In a coma, he eventually died Friday, July 17 at the CHU Nice. "We wish to thank colleagues of Jules, his friends, his supporters and all those who showed their affection during this period, the family said in a statement. They gave us the strength to resist in these terrible times.
Since the announcement of the death of young "prodigy F1" racing worldwide to professional drivers and pay homage to him.
Alain Prost, four-time champion in the F1 Drivers' World:
We always think a Jules. Loving thoughts to all the family and friends.
Anna RIP.
